Oxford Direct Vent / Natural Vent Gas Heater

Install the Optional Fan

If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit #2767
(FK26), continue here. If you are not installing a Fan Kit,
go to Page 15, Venting System Assembly.
1. The fan kit includes a Blower Assembly and a Rheostat
Assembly, connected by a cable. (Fig. 12) The Blower
Assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and
the Rheostat mounts to the valve coverplate. The as-
sembly includes a 'snapstat' which automatically turns
the fan On (or Off) above (or below) approximately
109°. The Rheostat also provides a range of fan speed
settings from Off (which overrides the snapstat func-
tion) to High. Unpack and inspect the Blower assem-
bly. Confirm that the fan spins freely.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (ground-
ed) plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
